looking for any info on ida may smith born 1902 in kidderminster. ty

There's this 1902 Kidderminster birth registration - no middle name
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2F88-CVN

and her christening 1902 Kidderminster parents Maurice & Miriam
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J3L8-ZR4

birth entry
Miriam Dutfield 1871 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2X4M-HFC

possible death
Miriam Smith age 32 Kidderminster 1903 see FreeBMD

1911 census details can’t be posted but you will find Ida in Kidderminster  – credits needed to view
free search shows Maurice Smith born 1872 birth entry https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2XHY-XFL

this might be Ida's sister Miriam Joan Smith
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2FZW-8BH
free search 1911 shows her as Joan Smith born 1901

1881 census Maurice Smith 1871 you need to check original (says daugher)
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X3NF-XRH

1881 census Miiram Dutfield c1872
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X3NX-658

To confirm if the above are correct persons you may want to verify father's name with marriage certificate

FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
1899 marriage entry Kidderminster
Maurice Smith
Name on same age
Miriam Dutfield

Hopes this helps and gives you something to work with

Edited as not correct family

There is an Ida May Smith on 1911
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7YY-12W

Free search shows a George Smith b1863 & Elizabeth Jane born b1862

this looks to be Ida's birth entry 1901 (FreeBMD) - b/c would confirm her parents names
 Jun 1901 Kidderminster   6c 242 Ida May Smith      

ADDED - maybe a sister of Ida's

A christening 1888 St. John the Baptist, Kidderminster, Worcester
Ethel May Smith parents George & Elizabeth Jane
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N8BK-S4W

Sorry can't  see one for Ida

Might she have married as just Ida there are two entries for Kidderminster on FreeBMD
Mar 1932 , Dec 1934 and one Ida May entry Mar 1947

There’s also an Ida M Jun 1939 Oldbury & Ida M Sep 1945 Dudley

Have not given spouses names in case they are still living – use the FreeBMD link to check maybe you can match them with a death entry and her age


 i think she had a daughter born in 1931.


Have you thought about ordering her b/c to confirm? - They can be purchased from the GRO using the reference details from FreeBMD

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

i do not know when she died

Do you know if she stayed in Worcester area? Try FreeBMD and see if there's a match for her age
also try without a surname in case she did marry

If you get her birth certificate for exact date of birth, you can then search for her death, as the date of birth is recorded on death certificates from 1969.
